Brushed With Love (Surfing The Waves Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Fearne Hill (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 546 ratings

Clement Constantine Church is a hot mess. With deadlines to meet.
Whereas the striking Viking redecorating his seaside cottage is simply hot.

As a precocious teen, Clem wrote a best seller. Now he writes for other people. Too busy contemplating his bleak career and panicking about pretty much everything, he doesn’t notice that the gorgeous surfer slapping paint across his bedroom walls has a top-notch flirting game. Nor that the body hidden underneath his white overalls should come with its own government health warning.

Anyhow, apparently the Viking is straight.

After one too many unwise hookups, Ragnar Aleksander Sigurdson Eggebraaten needs to lay low and avoid romantic entanglements. Which means there is zero chance he’d ever fall for a lonely writer. Not even if they pretended to be fake boyfriends during a weekend trip to London. Not even if there was only one bed. And especially not if he’s planning on leaving England at the end of summer to fulfil his dream of setting up a surf school.

Can surfer Vikings fall unexpectedly in love? And are failed writers allowed to write their own happily ever afters?

Brushed With Love is a warm and funny romance set in the UK. Trigger warnings include cosmic lizards, feisty octogenarians, and a spoiled shih tzu.

Beautiful story ❤️
4 out of 5 stars
Beautiful story ❤️
Clem and Eggy are your quintessential opposites attract ❤️ On paper they shouldn't have anything in commom, but their fake boyfriend status turned into so much more. Eggy was outspoken and lived life with no regrets, Clem was an introvert that loved his books. I really enjoyed the way they interacted together, it was a slow dance of sorts for these two. Some of the unnecessary misunderstandings had me rolling my eyes, but they came around when they realized where their hearts belonged. At the heart of it all, I loved these two together and the joy they brought each other brought a smile to my face. This was my first read by Fearne Hill and it was a winner. My heart is happy and I look forward to more books in this series.

    Unabashedly delicious!😏 I fell in love with these two adorkable, sweet and moody characters as soon as they were introduced. Eggy...😂 I mean, who doesn't want to be in the orbit of a sexy Norwegian from the Arctic Circle!?😋 Yum... And then there's Clem, an emo, broody delectable little English biscuit...😚😶 These vividly created men pull you into their world, which is expertly penned into your brain! The secondary character, Fifty, adds such an incredibly lush layer woven into Eggy and Clem's story, he leaves an indelible mark never to be ignored and leaving you wanting more!😁 Sweet, sexy and funny, this book is a charmer!!!😍😘 Recommended highly!

    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I'm not sure entirely what to say about this book. It grew on me and I came to be invested in the HEA.

    I was turned off by the first chapter, which felt more like the setup of a friends-to-lovers romance, introducing Eggy in part through discussing Fifty's unrequited love. Once I met Clem and made it into the heart of the romance, I enjoyed it.

    As someone living in the northeastern US, I hadn't realized there was a surfing scene in Devon so enjoyed a setting which had both surfers but a classic English cottage which highlighted the difference in Eggy and Clem. I was intrigued by Clem's background as a phenom best-selling YA author who was now struggling (I loved his self-analysis of his younger self).

    I'm now waiting for the next book in the series, looking forward to another unfamiliar setting!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic adventure of unlikely lovers
    Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The love interests in this HEA are developed as they interact, tell their stories, and reveal things that a blurb can't do. I found Fearne Hill's storytelling captivating in Two Tribes, and this follows a theme of folks whose circles would have few chances at intersecting. Yet, they are meant for each other, and provide inspiration to each other as well as "completing" each other. Yes, the trope is referred to in the adventure, but in this case, their puzzle pieces fit so well together.

    It was an enjoyable read, a delight of found friendship, love and "completing" each other.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Nobody does tender-funny like Fearne Hill! When we meet Eggy, hey yay seeing how far and wide he can spread his Viking genes. He and his best mate Fifty ( love how he got that name!) live free and easy, surfing their quarter of the globe and saving for their dream business in the Canary Islands. Clem is a genius emo author who is so repressed it practically takes the Jaws of Life to get him out the front door. When these two collude over a house re-do, sparks ignite a conflagration. Of course, it’s never that simple, and the journey is deeper that one might initially expect.

    As always, Fearne’s inimitable style and snarky sense of humor creates a place in the heart for every reader. And just wait ‘til you get a load of Dame Margarite! Waiting impatiently for the next in what I hope will be a king and delectable series!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2022

    I was very optimistic about this book. Reading the description had me jumping to put this at the top of my TBR list! Unfortunately I almost stopped reading very quickly into the book. I’m not sure why but the first 45ish% was really slow. Yes, the characters meet and we get to know some background but it’s like the reader is left on edge about too many secrets. I didn’t like feeling left out of so much information for so long. Thankfully I kept with it and by the end I loved the story. I will add the steamy scenes are also pretty good but it felt like they could have had more detail and maybe been a bit longer.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another lovely story from Fearne Hill!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I love Fearne Hill's stories - they have delightful characters, humour, attraction/lust that, (with a touch of angst), always turns into a heartwarming HEA. This was no exception.
    Eggie and Clem - a delightfully opposite pair on the surface, but both have more in common than they realise.
    They don't start of on the right foot, Eggie is a bit irreverent and Clem is a bit stuck up, Eggie appears to be open and gregarious, Clem is more reserved. They get to know each other better, enough for Clem to ask Eggie for help as a fake boyfriend. It was fun to see how self-professed manwhore, Eggie fell completely for Clem and Clem, well he didn't stand a chance.
    Honestly, it's best to read it to get the full experience! Loved it!

    Reviewed in Australia on November 20, 2023

    Another new-to-me author. I will admit this book to me a while to get into but I am so glad I persevered. The writing style seemed a little different at first, but mostly it was due to the character that the author was depicting... and after a while it just worked! What amazing characters. I fell for both of them with their little quirks and insecurities while the author took me on ride with their relationship. This story was so different to what I expected but all the better for it. If you like MM romance and want a change from the US settings/authors give this story a whirl - I think you will enjoy it. I'm off to read the next book in the series!

    An absolute giggling riot. A surfing Viking with an unreadable, unpronounceable name meets the cute writer in this story with chapters full of pining and flirting. A rare rom-com where every word is a pearl woven in a long string. So hold your necklaces, friends and read this for giggles, laughs, hugs, swoons, and steamy scenes that will fog your glasses. Did I mention the laughs. Well you get the gist.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Génial !!
    Reviewed in France on February 14, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Ce roman est sorti depuis un bon moment, et pourtant il patiente dans ma liseuse depuis ce jour. Depuis le temps que je voulais le lire, et découvrir par la même occasion la plume de Fearne Hill, voilà chose fait ! Pourquoi je n'ai pas lu ce livre avant ? Pourquoi ?

    Dans "Brushed with love", nous faisons la connaissance de Ragnar Aleksander Sigurdson Eggebraaten, surnommé Eggy pour les intimes ^^ Notre beau viking donne l'apparence de quelqu'un de décontracté, sûr de lui, avec beaucoup d'humour mais derrière cette façade, c'est un jeune blessé, rejeté par ses proches, avec une famille qui lui manque terriblement, dont un frère en particulier... Il peut compter sur le soutien de son meilleur ami Fifty, même si, certaines choses sont tendues entre eux récemment, Fifty développant des sentiments qu'il ne peut partager...
    Puis arrive Clement Constantine Church, un auteur plutôt sur la pente descendante... Eggy va lui proposer ses services de rénovation, du moins de peinture, dans la maison que sa grand-mère lui a légué. Et entre les deux hommes, une connexion instantanée va avoir lieu !

    Purée mais que j'ai aimé ce livre, j'ai tellement adoré ! Fearne Hill m'a happée dès la première ligne avec son style bien particulier, le ton un peu décalé du roman et surtout l'humour présent du début à la fin. Je ne compte plus le nombre de fois où je me suis bidonnée.
    Je me suis tellement attachée aux personnages. J'ai eu un gros faible pour notre beau petit Viking, son petit côté arrogant, un poil osé, me faisait sourire. C'est vrai que Eggy ne fait pas les choses à moitié, et il est bien décidé à séduire Clem, lui qui s'était fait le challenge d'arrêter de coucher à droite à gauche avec n'importe qui.
    Clem lui est plus sur la réserve, et bien que Eggy arrive avec ses gros sabots, il ne capte pas tous les messages du premier coup ahah ^^
    J'ai tellement aimé leur petit duo, tout le moment aussi où ils jouent au fake-dating pour le bien de Clem. Mais malgré cette connexion, cette alchimie évidente, cette belle amitié qui se développe et des sentiments qui s'en mêlent, les deux hommes peinent à communiquer vraiment. L'un est complexé et ne se croit pas digne de Clem qu'il voit comme un homme beaucoup trop intelligent pour lui... Un comble pour un auteur d'avoir un petit-ami dyslexique selon lui...
    Mais après tout, c'est juste le temps d'un été... L'un comme l'autre se voilent la face...

    Niveau personnages secondaires, mention spéciale à Fifty, le meilleur ami de Eggy. Purée, rien qu'à la mention de son surnom et à l'explication de celui-ci, je rigole ! J'ai si hâte de le retrouver dans le second tome... Il m'a fait une forte impression ici, et même s'il est doté d'un certain humour lui aussi, il m'a beaucoup touché par ses mots, ses discussions avec Clem et Eggy. Et puis sa façon de citer toujours « Point Break » ^^
    Ah et sans oublier Thelma et Louise ! Ahah que j'ai ri avec ce quiproquo !

    La plume de l'auteur est tout simplement géniale. Elle manie les mots, les émotions, l'humour de façon fabuleuse. Il y a beaucoup de passages poignants, émouvants... Tout est rythmé avec beaucoup d'humour, un certain ton complètement décalé que j'adore, mais avec une vraie justesse dans le développement ses sentiments et émotions de ses personnages.
